Great for house sale

This review is for a different branch.

I instructed Lisa Butcher for the sale of my flat and she was fantastic throughout. We had a few delays and Lisa was great at chasing my buyers solicitors and keeping me up to date. Any questions I had were answered very quickly and, unlike experience with other solicitors, she did not condescend at all. If Lisa was out of the office Kayleigh was equally as brilliant at keeping me updated. I would definitely use them both again.

Amazing service

Charlotte provided fantastic customer service, advice & support. Covid was no barrier even coming to our house to witness our signatures from outside our window. Cannot fault a thing, fantastic!

Tricky house sale and purchase handled with real care

This review is for a different branch.

We sold our house with Marie at FSM Old Town. It was a tricky transaction as the sellers of the house we were buying messed around and dragged it out for five months! Marie and Caroline helped us to keep our sanity and did thier best to fight on our behalf. It was a tough transaction but we felt that FSM were on our side. Really glad we went with the local firm and not the call centre style distant conveyancers as being able to speak to them personally and to pop into the office to sign paperwork was a godsend!

Not overly impressed

This review is for a different branch.

I didnt feel like they gave me the "Specialist advice" like they said they would. I used them to resolve a personal dispute but half way down the line they said that my chances of winning we low, despite telling me the contrary at the start of the case. I know its the job of a solicitor to advise you of any changes, but nothing had changed. It was like they were happy to give me the sunshine and rainbows before getting my cash but after, I felt they changed their stance.

Used to sell my house to another buyer (cash, no chain), used FSM as a conveyancer and completed within 2 months. Very good.
